It highlights the leniency of the justice system, which it claims fosters criminal behavior and neglects victims' needs. The narrative suggests that sentencing has become a mere formality, with judges disconnected from the public's experience of crime. Over the past 60 years, policies have allegedly made Britain more accommodating to criminals, prioritizing their rights over public safety.
